After North Carolina pastor Charles L. Worley called for gays and lesbians to be put in an electrified pen and left to die off, and

after Ron Baity, founding pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, N.C. told his own congregation that LGBT people should be prosecuted as they were historically, and

after Tim Rabon, pastor at Beacon Baptist Church in Raleigh, N.C., asked his congregants, "What is stopping them from refining marriage from a person and a beast?" and

just after pastor Sean Harris of the Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, N.C. told his congregants to "squash like a cockroach" - if they see them "dropping the limp wrist" and to "crack that wrist", or "give him a good punch", and

after Reverend Jimmy Swaggart told his TV audience "If a man so much as looked at me 'funny', I'd kill him and tell God he died.",

Now comes pastor Dennis Leatherman of the Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church in Oakland, Md., telling his congregation: "First of all, there is a danger of reacting in the flesh, of responding not in a scriptural, spiritual way, but in a fleshly way. Kill them all. Right? I will be very honest with you. My flesh kind of likes that idea."

I'll give him some credit for appending, "..but it grieves the Holy Spirit. It violates Scripture." But one has to wonder why make the, 'suggestion' in the first place?

But if I hear someone telling me this isn't "mainstream Christianity" one more time, I'm gonna hurl - because it's dam sure BECOMING the constant message or mainstream (well, Baptists USED to be considered mainstream) churches.

Curtis Knapp, Kansas Pastor Who Said Government Should Kill Gays, Defends Statements

"We punish pedophilia," Pastor Curtis Knapp of the New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kan. "We punish incest, we punish polygamy and various things. It's only homosexuality that is lifted out as an exemption."

Throughout history, most instances of ethnic cleansing has had their ground work laid by calls by the media or the pulpit calling for the targeted people to be gotten rid of. This was true of the pogroms in the middle ages, the Holocaust and even more recently the genocide in Rwanda.

If this is not reined in, either official or revolutionary violence will be directed against the targeted people. It will be yet another black eye on this country. Furthermore the people who are protecting the persecuted and opposing the persecution will also be harmed.

For those who have faith, no explanation is neccessary.For those who have no faith, no explanation is possible.

St. Thomas Aquinas

If one turns his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9

TELL me this is not now the "mainstream" "Christian" message in America today.

Puke-making vomit-inducing hatred pepetrated in the name of Jesus is what it is.

It actually seems to be getting worse.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. AristotleNever discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

Don't forget that these preachers would kill their Jesus if he ever came around again. They'd figure anyone with long hair, a beard, a robe and sandals would have to be a homosexual. It seems the hate part of their religion is far more important than the love part.

I know some fine Christians that love people as they are. All the Atheists I know love people as they are.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
